This stands out from the crowd, as it is the only vehicle we use that isn’t a Mercedes, and there is a lot of history behind. Therefore, we’ll take you on a journey to learn more about this fascinating vehicle.

How Does It Work?

Because it is classified as a full hybrid, this means that the Prius operates via a power-split mechanism. This can mean two things:

The car can operate as a parallel hybrid, where the electric motor and gas engines can power the car individually or together.

The car can operate as a series hybrid, where the engine can operate independently of the speed of the car, charging the batteries, or providing power to the wheels when necessary.

Because of this system, it means that the Prius can alternate its primary mode of power, from gasoline to electric. As such, the fuel efficiency is increased drastically and the Prius can maintain longer journeys with few fuel stops.
